GILROY—Curtis Hargrove is a man on a mission. The Canadian native is on a 1,518-mile run from British Columbia to Los Angeles—the equivalent of 58 individual marathons—to keep a promise he made to a very special young woman.

South County was hit with about a half inch of rainfall today, Thursday, and there is more to come, according to forecaster Bob Benjamin of the National Weather Service.

Gilroy is featured in “El Camino Real and the Route of the Daylight”, a book recently published by the Los Angeles Railroad Heritage Foundation about the history of California's first road and railroad systems.

For many students, what they wear on the first day of school is critical. Yet many disadvantaged youth in Gilroy don't have the privilege of going back-to-school shopping.
